How do you plan to "automatically" send this to every new poster? What is this auto-responder of which you speak? I understand that this document is simply a modification of the c.l.p.m document, but this terminology would confuse me in a web environment.

do you remember how you got your password? We have the technology, gentlemen. If Il Papa approves of putting more information in the initial password e-mail, perhaps the (lesser) synod of ninth and tenth level monks should start nominating their favorite faq-ish nodes, as well as things like outside links and so on. What do you think, vroom?
Update Not much, apparently :)
